Camp & COVID
We continue to follow the guidance of the CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Camp Association, and local health experts in managing Girl Scout Camp most safely. Help us provide a safe and healthy experience for campers, staff, and families by mitigating risk before arriving at camp, limiting the chance of exposure to COVID-19 whenever possible. Review our Screening and Illness guide before arriving at camp.
Pre-Screening
Based on changes to COVID protocol recommendations and best practices, we are updating our camp COVID testing requirements. Regardless of vaccination status, we require all campers to provide proof of a negative rapid (antigen) COVID test.
PCR tests are no longer required.
Campers must take the rapid COVID test on the morning of their first day at camp.
*You can get a free COVID rapid test through the US Postal Service.
Please be prepared to show camp staff a time-stamped photo of your camper’s negative rapid test upon arrival at camp. If your child is attending camp Winnecomac and riding the bus, camp staff on the bus will need proof of negative test results before your camper boards the bus.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility. We are doing our best to make camp easy and accessible while assuring the safety of our campers and staff. We look forward to spending time with your camper this summer.
Daily Screening at Camp
We will continue to screen all campers and staff members for COVID-19 each day. Participants with any signs or symptoms will need to go home.
After Camp
Campers should be monitored for any signs or symptoms of COVID-19 after they return home from camp. If a camper tests positive for COVID-19 within eight days of returning home, please contact GSNWGL immediately so we can take appropriate measures to contract trace and inform other camp families as necessary.
*Report a POSITIVE COVID test to info@gsnwgl.org.
